Here's the newest Cobra video! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJ-Xa6SE2ZibpKM.html

You guys are hysterical ! As a 73-year-old retired mechanic who still works on his own cars, I loved your imitation of me. Okay that's worn me out writing this I got to go take a nap now. Ross

The addition of regular appearances by Pete have really made the videos more enjoyable to watch. I find myself laughing more often than I pick up tips on the actual work.

Peter looks so happy when he is about to do something that might break something.

That smile peter has before bumping the starter is crazy funny good. Then the bump, the surprise. So much emotion in his face, peter is the best shop hand ever. You two make the best mechanic duo

this is the most legitimate that could be, I love how you guys tease each other and none of you ever takes it offensively. way to go.

You and Peter are so good together my wife actually love watching you I'm a huge fan I've had been a mechanic for over 40 years and I'm still learning watching your show

I used to watch this channel every once in a while, but never regularly. The last few cars you guys have picked to work on has me wanting more videos all the time! Great job.

I know you guys are doing a test on this engine. To try and free it. but I am soooo excited to be failed and see what you decide to swap into this. Alex and Peter are best of youtube guys.

Difference of the tanks… The fuel pump “hole” is bigger on the 99+ tanks. It took me forever to find an insert that could be used with an external pump. Remember when this cobra was built, fox body stuff was readily available. I ended up using the aeromotive setup but was expensive and new. I believe that is the reason for the swap.

I mentioned it on the last vid but the 97 tank swap was done to convert car to a return style fuel system. 97 was last year of return style in 98 they went returnless. Since the chassis are identical many new edge guys swap the 97 tanks instead of sumping/modifiying their tanks.

All three of you guys are awesome together! This channel is getting better and better with each video! Keep it up guys!

Oh jeez Peter has the same sense of humor as me. See how much weird and wild things my friends will believe and then tell them I was joking

You guys make even a bad day at the shop seem fun. Well done.

Since the engine turns back a bit but is locked up when you turn it forward , my best guess without having seen it is that the timing chain is broken on one side and is binding up locking the engine. Dual overhead cam engines tend to still move some usually backwards if a timing chain chain breaks.

I have to admit you and Peter have great chemistry. It’s like you guys have been friends forever. Peter is hilarious and his facial expressions are timeless

I love Peter. He’s the best sidekick/partner anymore can ask for. He’s the Andy richter to your Conan O’Brien.

everyone needs a good spirit and great personality like peter around

16:33 OMG I nearly died! Peter looks like a little kid on Christmas with the power button to the train set Dad spent all week setting up. Priceless.

4:50 Try using some brake cleaner for rubber lube, you'll be amazed. I found it out by accident once when I picked up the wrong can one time. Your stuck motor reminds me of last week's hell. In '91 I bought a '69 SS Elcamino and 6 years ago I sold it to my best friend. Last march, he passed away and left it to my daughter (she wanted it when I sold it but, I talked her out of it). It hadn't been started for 22 years! I cleaned out the whole fuel system. I removed the plugs and squirted oil in all the cylinders and made sure the crank turned. Then, I changed the oil and primed the heck out of the oil pump. Reinstalled the distributor and cranked it over so, I could see 50+ psi on the oil gauge. Reinstalled the plugs, put fuel in carb through the vent, and started it. It fired right up and died after a few seconds. It did this several times. I was working the throttle to keep it running, nothing over 2,000 rpms. The 5th and last time, it made kind of a "klink" sound when it quit. Crank wouldn't turn. #3 plug is regapped as in zero gap. Used my camera, shattered piston. When I get my Stupidru back together, I'll pull it and see if There's enough left to fix. Hope you have better luck! At least yours might only have rusty cylinders.

Please stay friends for life. You guys have excellent chemistry and always a joy to watch!

Evaporust rocks!!! It's a great item to keep around. But yeah, engine needs a a rebuild with the wall eaten by rust :(

Like seeing Pete and learning bits about Japanese culture 😄 It's a welcome addition to the car stuff 👌🏼

That genuine ear to ear smile while Peter is holding the starter button is just too funny. So happy to maybe break something lmao.

You guys are awesome can't wait to see the next video of the carnage.

When LegitStreetCars posts, instant like 👍🏼

You guy's make these videos great. Can't wait too see more on the cobra 👍👍👍

I'll never forget the beautiful sound of our 32v 01 cobra turning itself into a 31v on the freeway. Then it became a 9 cylinder due to the rod going thru the beautiful teksid block. It was a pain in the ass to find a true 2001 cobra replacement. Every expert would say oh yes I have a " cobra 4.6 dohc" and every time I'd ask how many bolts hold the flywheel they say 6. Cobras have 8. Luckily I found one 3 miles away at an old Ford shop. 20k miles and stole it for $1500! Love the cobra content

It does not get any funnier or more entertaining while still being so amazingly educational than these guys! Kudos to you Alex & Peter and whoever else you have helping with these videos!

You guys crack me up! Banter+singing and a car to mend, just perfect. Sitting here in Southern Spain with a big smile on my face 😁

Super stoked for this series! Thanks for doing this, Alex!

Free'd up a boat engine by applying pressure to flywheel after pulling all spark plugs. Sprayed all cylinders with pb Blaster, put a hardwood dowel and tapped on each piston. While alternating direction of applying pressure to flywheel. Had it running in a few hours. Still runs great!!! Love the channel, keep up the great content 👍

Peter has been a great addition to your videos!

I can’t stand my tools to be unorganized. When I was physically able to do mechanic work, my wife’s dad owns a motorcycle shop, I would spend at least an hour each evening cleaning up my shop and work benches and organizing my tools. People don’t realize how much time is lost looking for the 10mm socket! I enjoy watching you guys so much. It takes me back to when I really enjoyed my life. Triple bypass open heart surgery in 2019 then in September of this year I had a massive heart attack while at my wife’s OB/GYN appointment, and was in cardiac arrest for 45 minutes. Doctors said it is a miracle that I didn’t suffer any brain damage and woke up after being on life support over 19 days. I’m definitely a blessed man and I’m only 43 years old, thank you God for allowing me to be a dad for a little longer!

Being a 17k mile true Cobra. They are up swinging on value and will continue to do so. #’s matching will affect the value in the future so if this engine can be rebuilt I’d go that option

I had a laugh with this video 😂 and Peter and Max where without a doubt the best addition to this channel

I watch a lot of automotive based channels and most are pretty decent. What makes Legit Street Cars come out on top for me, is the personalities of everybody involved in making the videos. Keep ‘em coming and I’ll keep watching ‘em Bring on the MooVan! ❤ jPc

When I saw the breaker bar AND the remote start wired up I about lost it...that's brave! Can't wait for the next one!

well.... having rust in the cylinders is kind of a good sign....! better than alu or nikasil scoring like the C63. It means either steel sleves or castiron block which could easy be restored at an engine shop. I'd say get this engine restored - it is after all original Ford Cobra hardware... could be a nice series too see how its done

Something else to keep in mind from my history with SC these 4V motors back in the day. if you go back with a similar setup, the Vortec uses the same super long 6 rib belt, and stock factory tensioner to drive all the accessories, and the blower, and keep tennis on everything. Some companies offered an 8 rib conversion, to help with belt slip. Still, that's a lot of small idler pullies and accessories winging around at 6-7 K to make power on this motor, and the pullies better be dead on aligned, or ....issues

can't wait to see what you guys do with this car. I love these Mustang builds.

I wouldn't have even bothered trying to turn it over after what the borescope showed last time. Heads off and dirty hone the bores, clean the heads up and slap em back on. Cost you some headgaskets (or not if you copper spray them haha)

Dammit Peter, it’s TOIGHT LOIKE a TOIGER. Gold member was such a good movie. I can’t believe it came out 20 years ago this year.

My favorite KZfaq comedy team! Too much entertainment for one channel...

You've got to keep Peter on the channel as much as you can.

Fun fact - the Fox4 platform - a heavily modified version of the Fox platform dating back to 1979 on the Mustang - ran from 1994 to 2004 at eleven years, nearly breaking the record for the Fox platform at fifteen years (1979 to 1994). So if you think about it, the third (Fox) and fourth generation Mustangs (SN95) ran on a platform that ran for a combined TWENTY-FIVE years.

I'm betting that this was one of those "Here, hold my beer and watch this!!" moments...poor guy paid 40 G's for a lawn ornament. That sucks. I'm going to say that Rev limiter was hit, Valve bounced off the seat and/or broken timing chain, engine stops abruptly(because of the broken valve/piston contact of course) and the blower wants to keep pumping them boosties, and voila belt rips the pully apart and all goes silent. What a sweet car though. Glad to see it being brought back to life! Good job guys.

I love these old Cobra's. Keep tearing it down. I am looking forward to the next episode!

Now that it partly turns, I'd be interested to see if more time soaking frees it any more.

Hilarious! Toight like a toyger! Goldmember from Austin Powers (20 years ago!) You guys have awesome chemistry. Loved this video very much I clicked the like button twice! Then clicked it a third time so it would take... Anyhow, appreciate the comedy as well as mechanical know-how. Imma buy a shirt! Question... what does that Evapo-rust taste like?

Love all the cars your working on. Im almost 40 and these were the cars everyone wanted in HS.

When they installed the IRS, the stock mustang tanks didn't fit. The fix was a different shaped smaller capacity tank. Swapping in the straight axle suspension most likely required the normal tank, and added capacity would also have been a bonus with the mods that car has.

would be cool to see the engine re sleeved and rebuilt.

4:30 makes me think he has never seen a tire wipe out a quarter panel...

Peter is the ultimate best friend to have in every situation brought to lsc 😂😂😂❤

This channel will go to the stars, just keep this spirit up guys

That motor looks rough! Great content from the team at LSC. Hopefully I'll see you guys at a local car show in 2023.

Love your videos I always look forward to watching them keep up the hard work your gonna go far!

LOL @ peter's singing @11:00 AND HOLY CRAP does peter have pipes?!? Guys, you should release a xmas album!

“This is the bolt womb” shirt needed. 😂 👌🏻

Did you guys check the VIN to verify it's a real Cobra? I mean, it's got a stick axle and Cobras came with IRS. It could have been changed for the strip, but that doesn't look like a drag car (with the current wheel/tire combo). Also, the fish gills on the rear quarters are Saleen pieces, I believe. With all the changes, I wonder if it's a converted GT - a Faux-bra. I don't know if Ford skipped 2000 Cobras due to shame over low hp numbers, but they may have been focused on the 2000 Cobra R.

Used older tank due to provisions for a return system. 99 up is returnless and has an integrated pump and fuel level sensor on one bung. Easier to add a return system back then as there were few to no aftermarket hats for conversion to returnless

Looks to be, from what you shared in the video, that it's a broken & dropped valve in that one cylinder which is what the engine will only turn so far in either direction.

Fun fact: Peter learned to work on cars by watching Scotty Kilmer videos. That's why he loves JDM cars.

Probably been done many times, but would be nice to see the engine opened up to see the condition of he heads and cylinders.

Wow, Peter can sing really well! He has a great voice!

You guys are by far the best trio and the channel is awesome! These vidoes go by so fast! Really looking forward to seeing what happens with the Mustang!

As the old saying goes, “it doesn’t matter if it’s torqued to spec or cross threaded, tight is tight” - Toretto

Can't wait to see the postmortem on the engine.

This channel really hit its stride once Peter became a regular.

In stores now LSC Greatest Hits like, Oops, Ford did it again, (Replacing Parts) One Piece at a Time and who can forget I want a new Engine as sung with Huey Lewis. Just having fun, love you guys and your adventures.

i love that "not a tesla" sign

I love Peter's optimism 😅

As someone who owns an ‘00 Lightning, ‘94, ‘01, ‘03 Cobras, and an 02 Ws6. Theses recent videos have my attention. Great job guys!

the banter between you two is hilarious. being english, i like it when you do the english accent - reminds me of family guy 😂😂🤣🤣

I’m willing to take a bet that there was too much boost for the factory engine… which caused the head gaskets to blow… then there was fluid that sat in the cylinders. (Insert mic drop here 🙂)

I was watching the fuel tank go in and I’m like “Yep, they are going to forget the connect it” while Peter is holding the hammer 😂😂

Hi guys, my name is Glen from Canada (Edmonton Alberta) , love the channel. I bought an old 68 Camaro that had no spark plugs in it for 2 years, I was told to put kerosene in a rusted locked up engine and let it soak for a couple days. It worked awesome and never cracked any rings and ended up working awesome. There is an oil in the kerosene that eats up all the rust

Who else remembers this car? Any other info on it would be great!

If the engine locked up at high rpm, could the momentum of the alternator etc have broken the tensioner?

Love the channel. Especially being a fellow Midwestern guy, MN. I have to say Peter has been a great addition. So fun watching you guys!

Absolutely howling with laughter watching this. So much entertainment watching you both laugh and sing and say silly phrases as you work. Keep the great content coming.

Love this content, Question for you guys: how do you guys get rid of all your waste oil/transmission/coolant? I am currently Building a shop and trying to figure out the little things that most overlook when maintaining or working on cars. Much appreciated!

Dibs on this when you get rid of it!!!

Alex you straight up messed up Peter’s song! “Raise you up” classic!! 😂😂😂

Alex, when you rebuild the engine. Stock crank balanced, molnar pwr rods, diamond pistons. It will be good for 1200 no problem. That teksid block, have done 5.88 with no sleeves in the 1/4. That's after seeing 9's, 8's 7's and 6's. Also, I highly recommend a head cooling mod. The 93-03 4v don't have proper coolant flow in the 6th and, the 8th cylinder. So they ruin valves.

Peter’s head/beard and hair shape looks like Wolverine. Go Peter!

Belive us when i say.. we need an episode of "how to clean the shop/tools between projects", we love that ....🙋‍♂️

I'm really glad I found your Chanel, I used to watch spike TV for years on the weekends with horsepower TV and trucks and you guys are rad!

As a regular viewer of Hand Tool Rescue I knew when I saw the previous Mustang vid that Alex was going to be putting Evapo-Rust in that engine.

You and Peter should buy separate cars and build them separately and then go racing.. be kinda fun seeing what you guys can do in separately from different kinds of cars ..

Whatever you guys are doing? I'm liking it. You guys make a great team! Learning a lot too!

"Ish wary wary tight.....tight like a tiger" gold member was an entertaining character

I love this videos, I love your videos! Keep it up guys. You and Peter rock. You help me calm down and enjoy after a long day at work and some hard nights with our new born baby.

Peter is such a good addition

My dad brought a old 53 GMC with a Straight six in it and I used a large screw driver on the Flywheel to rotate the engine 1/4 inch at a time. After an hour I got it rotating with the starter. That was six years ago and she still runs like new.

Those cobras are probably one of the coolest cars every made an they look amazing.

A shop cleaning shenanigans video would be great!

Peter! I remember tight like a tiger haha a guy at a shop I used to work with always used to say it.
